Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to throw the projector of display image.
Background technology
In projector, according to image information (picture signal), the light with modulation such as liquid crystal panel are penetrated from lamp optical system is incident upon the light after the modulation on the screen, realizes that image shows.
Figure 10 is the key diagram of the major part of the existing projector of expression.This projector has three liquid crystal light valve 900R, 900G, 900B; Cross dichroic prism 920; And projecting lens 940.Red (R), green (G), blue (B) three coloured light of penetrating from not shown lamp optical system pass through liquid crystal light valve 900R, 900G, 900B, and are modulated according to image information.Modulated light (modulated beam of light) is synthesized by cross dichroic prism 920, and synthetic light is throwed by projecting lens 940.So color display on screen SC.In addition, in Figure 10, suppose that the color lights R, G, the B that are the s polarized light incide on each liquid crystal light valve 900R, 900G, the 900B.
The second liquid crystal light valve 900G has: liquid crystal panel 901G; The s polarized light that is arranged on the light entrance face side of liquid crystal panel 901G and light-emitting face side orthogonally with polarizing axis sees through uses polaroid 902Gi; And the p polarized light is through using polaroid 902Go.Owing to constitute like this, after being transformed into the p polarized light, s polarized light on the second liquid crystal light valve 900G penetrates so incide.
On the other hand, the first liquid crystal light valve 900R has: liquid crystal panel 901R; The p polarized light sees through uses polaroid 902Ri and s polarized light through using polaroid 902Ro; And λ/2 phase difference film 903R.In the first liquid crystal light valve 900R, λ/2 phase difference film 903R stick on the glass sheet 908, and in addition, the first polaroid 902Ri sticks on λ/2 phase difference film 903R.The s polarized light that incides on the glass sheet 908 utilizes λ/2 phase difference film 903R to be transformed into the p polarized light, directly sees through the p polarized light and sees through with behind the polaroid 902Ri, utilizes liquid crystal panel 901R and s polarized light to see through and uses polaroid 902Ro, penetrates after being transformed into the s polarized light.The 3rd liquid crystal light valve 900B too.
As mentioned above, why set the s polarized light and penetrate from the first and the 3rd liquid crystal light valve 900R, 900B, the p polarized light penetrates from the second liquid crystal light valve 900G, is can successfully synthesize cross dichroic prism 920 for the light that penetrates from three liquid crystal light valves.
In addition, from above-mentioned explanation as can be known, so-called " liquid crystal light valve " in this manual, be the parts that the direction adjusting the polarization of incident light direction and make outgoing polarisation of light direction be regulation is used, at least comprise liquid crystal panel and polaroid, according to circumstances, also comprising λ/2 phase difference films, is a kind of liquid crystal light valve of broad sense.In addition, the liquid crystal light valve of narrow sense does not comprise λ/2 phase difference films, and the meaning is to be made of liquid crystal panel and polaroid.
Therefore, if the light that penetrates from lamp optical system is radiated on the liquid crystal light valve, this heating is followed in the polaroid of liquid crystal light valve heating usually, and polaroid deforms.In addition, this deflection is main with the light intensity that shines polaroid and distribute relevant.
In above-mentioned existing projector, the λ that comprises among the first and the 3rd liquid crystal light valve 900R, the 900B/2 phase difference film 903R, 903B is sandwiched between glass sheet 908 and polaroid 902Ri, the 902Bi.Therefore, follow polaroid 902Ri to produce deformation, λ/2 phase difference film 903R also produce deformation.

The light that penetrates from lamp optical system 100 (Fig. 1) is separated into red (R), green (G), blue (B) three coloured light coloured light split-optics 200.Each separated coloured light is carried out modulation according to image information in liquid crystal light valve 300R, 300G, 300B.Each modulated coloured light synthesizes in cross dichroic prism 520, by projecting lens 540 coloured image is incident upon on the screen SC.
Fig. 2 is with the key diagram shown in 100 amplifications of the lamp optical system among Fig. 1.This lamp optical system 100 has: light supply apparatus 120; First and second lens arra 140,150; Polarized light generating optics system 160; And overlapping lens 170.Light supply apparatus 120 and first and second lens arra 140,150 are that benchmark is configured with light source optical axis 120ax, and polarized light generating optics system 160 and overlapping lens 170 are that benchmark is configured with systematic optical axis 100ax.Light source optical axis 120ax is the central shaft from the light beam of light supply apparatus 120 ejaculations, and systematic optical axis 100ax is by the central shaft of polarized light generating optics system 160 from the light beam of the optical element ejaculation of back level.As shown in the figure, the side-play amount Dp of systematic optical axis 100ax and light source optical axis 120ax and skew regulation parallel along the x direction.Will be explained below this side-play amount Dp.In addition, the field of illumination LA that lamp optical system 100 is thrown light in Fig. 2 is corresponding to liquid crystal light valve 300R, 300G, 300B among Fig. 1.
As shown in the figure, the segment beam that penetrates from each lenslet 142 of first lens arra 140 is by behind second lens arra 150, focuses in its vicinity the position, promptly focuses in the polarized light generating optics system 160.
Polarized light generating optics system 160 is equivalent to polarized light generating unit of the present invention.Fig. 3 is the key diagram of expression polarized light generating optics system 160.The oblique view of Fig. 3 (A) expression polarized light generating optics system 160, Fig. 3 (B) expression is from the part of+planimetric map seen when the y direction is seen.Polarized light generating optics system 160 has anti-dazzling screen 62, polarizing beam splitter array 64 and selects phase difference film 66.
Shown in Fig. 3 (A), polarizing beam splitter array 64 be by a plurality of its sections roughly the light transmission flaky material 64c of the column of parallelogram paste and constitute.On the interface of each light transmission flaky material 64c, alternately form polarized light separation membrane 64a and reflectance coating 64b.In addition, use the dielectric multilayer film, use dielectric multilayer film or metal film as reflectance coating 64b as polarized light separation membrane 64a.
The each several part light beam that penetrates from first lens arra 140 (Fig. 2) is shown in the solid line Fig. 3 (B), and its main beam (central shaft) is roughly parallel to systematic optical axis 100ax and incides on the opening surface 62a of anti-dazzling screen 62.The segment beam that has passed through opening surface 62a incides on the polarized light separation membrane 64a.Polarized light separation membrane 64a is separated into the segment beam of s polarized light and the segment beam of p polarized light with the segment beam of incident.At this moment, the segment beam of p polarized light sees through polarized light separation membrane 64a, and the segment beam of s polarized light is polarized light diffusion barrier 64a reflection.The segment beam that is polarized light diffusion barrier 64a reflection s polarized light is reflected on reflectance coating 64b once more by directive reflectance coating 64b.At this moment, it is almost parallel to each other to have seen through the segment beam of s polarized light of the segment beam of p polarized light of polarized light separation membrane 64a and the film 64b reflection of being reflected.
Select phase difference film 66 to constitute by opening layer 66a and λ/2 phase separation layer 66b.In addition, opening layer 66a is the part that does not form λ/2 phase separation layer 66b.Opening layer 66a has the function that the linearly polarized light of the incident of making directly sees through.On the other hand, λ/2 phase separation layer 66b have the function as polarization, are used for the linearly polarized light of incident is transformed into the linearly polarized light of polarization direction quadrature.In the present embodiment, shown in Fig. 3 (B), the segment beam that has seen through the p polarized light of polarized light separation membrane 64a incides on λ/2 phase separation layer 66b.Therefore, the segment beam of p polarized light penetrates be transformed into the segment beam of s polarized light in λ/2 phase separation layer 66b after.On the other hand, the segment beam of the s polarized light of the film 64b that is reflected reflection is owing to inciding opening layer 66a, so the segment beam of s polarized light directly penetrates.That is, the segment beam that incides the nonpolarized light of polarized light generating optics system 160 penetrates after being transformed into the segment beam of s polarized light.In addition, because λ/2 phase separation layer 66b only are configured on the exit facet of segment beam of s polarized light of the film 64b reflection of being reflected, so penetrate after also the segment beam that incides polarized light generating optics system 160 being transformed into the segment beam of p polarized light.As selecting phase difference film 66, can on the part of opening layer 66a, not be provided with whatever yet, only λ/2 phase separation layer 66b are sticked on the exit facet of segment beam of the segment beam of p polarized light or s polarized light and get final product.
From Fig. 3 (B) as can be known, the center of two s polarized lights that penetrate from polarized light generating optics system 160 mind-set+x direction skew from the nonpolarized light (s polarized light+p polarized light) of incident.Its side-play amount equals the width W p of λ/2 phase separation layer 66b, and (that is, polarized light separation membrane 64a is along the size of x direction.Therefore, as shown in Figure 2, the distance D p of light source optical axis 120ax and systematic optical axis 100ax skew equals Wp/2.
As mentioned above, many segment beams that penetrate from first lens arra 140 become two segment beams by polarized light generating optics system 160 with the each several part beam separation, are transformed into each polarization direction a kind of linearly polarized light unanimous on the whole simultaneously.Many segment beams of polarization direction unanimity utilize overlapping lens 170 shown in Figure 2, overlap on the LA of field of illumination.At this moment, the light intensity distribution that is radiated on the LA of field of illumination becomes roughly even.
Lamp optical system 100 (Fig. 1) penetrates the illumination light (s polarized light) of polarization direction unanimity, by coloured light split-optics 200 or relay optical system 220, liquid crystal light valve 300R, 3006,300B is thrown light on.
Coloured light split-optics 200 has two dichronic mirrors 202,204 and catoptron 208, has the function that the beam separation that will penetrate from lamp optical system 100 becomes red, green, blue three coloured light.First dichronic mirror 202 sees through the red light component from the light that lamp optical system 100 penetrates, simultaneously reflection blue light component and green light components.The red light R that has seen through first dichronic mirror 202 is reflected after mirror 208 reflections, directive cross dichroic prism 520.The red light R that penetrates from coloured light split-optics 200 passes through field lens 232, arrives the liquid crystal light valve 300R that red light is used.This field lens 232 has the function that will become from the each several part optical beam transformation that lamp optical system 100 penetrates with respect to the light beam of its central axes.In addition, be arranged on other liquid crystal light valves 300G, 300B light entrance face one side field lens 234,230 too.
In the blue light B and green light G of the reflection of first dichronic mirror 202, green light G is by 204 reflections of second spectroscope, by from coloured light split-optics 200 directive cross dichroic prism 520.The green light G that penetrates from coloured light split-optics 200 passes through field lens 234, arrives the liquid crystal light valve 300G that green light is used.On the other hand, the blue light B that sees through second dichronic mirror 204 penetrates from coloured light split-optics 200, incides in the relay optical system 220.
Incide light incident side lens 222, relay lens 226 and catoptron 224,228 and the exiting side lens (field lens) 230 of blue light B in the relay optical system 220, arrive the liquid crystal light valve 300B that blue light is used by having in the relay optical system 220.In addition, why relay optical system 220 is used to blue light B, be because the optical path length of blue light B is longer than the optical path length of light R, the G of other colors,, the blue light B that incides on the light incident side lens 222 directly propagated on the exiting side lens 230 by using relay optical system 220.
Three liquid crystal light valve 300R, 300G, 300B modulate three coloured light of incident respectively according to the image information of supplying with (picture signal), generate modulated beam of light.The polaroid that each liquid crystal light valve has liquid crystal panel respectively and is configured in its light entrance face one side and light-emitting face one side.In addition, will further describe liquid crystal light valve in the back.
520 pairs of three coloured light (modulated beam of light) by liquid crystal light valve 300R, 300G, 300B modulation of cross dichroic prism synthesize, and generate the synthetic light of performance coloured image.In cross dichroic prism 520, on the interface of four right-angle prisms, roughly be X shape ground and form red reflective film 521 and blue light reflectance coating 522.Red reflective film 521 is formed by the dielectric multilayer film of reflection red light, blue light reflectance coating 522 is formed by the dielectric multilayer film of reflect blue light, by these red reflective films 521 and blue light reflectance coating 522 synthetic three kinds of coloured light, generate the synthetic light of performance coloured image.
The synthetic light that is generated by cross dichroic prism 520 is penetrated by the direction along projecting lens 540.Projecting lens 540 projections are presented at coloured image on the screen SC from the synthetic light that cross dichroic prism 520 penetrates.In addition, can use telecentric lens as projecting lens 540.
Fig. 4 is the key diagram of the major part of the projector 1000 in the presentation graphs 1.In addition, be conceived in Fig. 4, describe the polarization direction of light from polarized light generating optics system 160 shown in Figure 1 to the optical system of intersection colour splitting prism 520.In addition, not shown with the almost irrelevant optical element (lens etc.) of direction of polarized light.In addition, other later embodiment of described second embodiment in back represent too.
In first embodiment, illustrated with Fig. 2 that polarized light generating optics system 160 penetrated the s polarized light.As mentioned above, the s polarized light is separated into red light R, green light G and blue light B by two dichronic mirrors 202,204.Because passed through dichronic mirror at 202,204 o'clock, the polarization direction does not change, so three coloured light remain the s polarized light.
